Since so many components are involved a fix/change might have been missed.
And since I recently didn't hear anything about this otherwise rather hot bug I
was giving focal a try.
It turns out that this was indeed improved. Only the user of pkg:ifmail user
fdt name "Fidonet" is still visible.

Title:
Unable to hide users from login screen / user switcher
Piorities are a bit odd, eventually all packages affected (low prio as
they can't do much about it) actually depend on lightdm to resolve it
(prio medium) which depends on accountsservive to implement some shell-
filter feature (prio high).
TL;DR as there was a lot of discussion up to now:
-
The Dup 1667113 had tracked some more affected packages - since all are
dupped on this bug here let me add those tasks here so that all

I think global exclusion option is needed. Imagine a big domain
environment where there are about 20 admins. And all these admins are
policykit admins. Once you try to use policykit somehow, all these admin
accounts will appear in the panel, but I don't really need them there.
The same for login
Excluding accounts from the accountsservice listing is not the right
solution. It would also make these accounts disappear from the user
panel - and you probably want to be able to edit them there.
This can either be a display manager configuration, or it can be a per-
